a) Male or female patients aged 18 to 80 years.
b) Patients who participated to protocol HHT-CML/INTL/04.2 and who have either achieved a Complete Hematological Response or returned to chronic phase of CML after one or two courses of subcutaneous HHT.
c) Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
d) Adequate performance status as defined by a grading of 2 or better on the ECOG
Performance Status Criteria.
e) Female patients of child-bearing potential willing to use adequate contraception (oral contraceptive pill, IUD, surgical sterilisation, contraceptive patches, depot injection or barrier method in combination with a spermicide) for the duration of and at least one month after the last dose of investigational product.
